Claimed benefits are largely unsupported and exaggerated calling into question the integrity of the people running the company. Appears to be a well made product, but way, way too expensive to justify using.

Personally, I think it's overpriced for what you get - top-end filter (M1, Amsoil EAO) will do the same for much less.

It is a good looking filter, though!

Not sure why you say it's overpriced. I just bought two of the MG 301-1 filters for $30.39 with free shipping. I also had to pay CA tax :-( but most people won't have to.

GoGreenLS20 was the coupon code that got a %20 discount (just Google for MicroGreen discount codes).

That crosses to the M1-209 - a two pack of these on Amazon is $24.46 (plus shipping, since it's less than $25).

So, the MicroGreen filters are only about $3 more per filter.

MicroGreen's prices have been coming down and with a discount code (and with free shipping) they appear to be a reasonable deal for a premium filter.

I have no affiliation with the folks who make this filter, and I'm certainly not getting anything from them. I'm just playing with this filter for my '07 Prius (yes, very oversized filter) to see how well it works.

I've seen the thin little "bypass" filter in those cans. It makes me wonder how much "stuff" they actually can hold. Also has anyone done a real UOA on an extended drain with particle counts with these filters?

Dam. I just bought two 107's for about $30 shipped. I wish I knew about that coupon

Yep, link. Microgreen cut the particle count down a bit better then 50% over a K&N for the same oil, distance and driving routine.

I ordered two for my car. Cost was about $30, which yes it is expensive, but an Amsoil filter is $12+ so figure $15 for the Microgreen.

My observations are this:

Heavy filter, appears to be very well made. Very thick can.Made in China Black rubber ADBV, unsure of material. Looks a little glossier like the silicone sometimes does.Through the center tube, pleats look plentiful.

People comment about the size of the bypass filter element. Though It is not an Amsoil bypass filter, if you are trapping very small micron counts in the oil, how much filter material are they really going to fill up??

So far there is no abnormal start up noise, and oil pressure appears to be the same as the OEM filter I had installed before.
